job. >> simply the nature of the beast, when you deal with bad people on a regular basis, there is always the potential to do something bad, because they already did something bad to somebody else. >> that said, they aren't sure if this has to do with his case work. no death threats at the time. prosecuted duis, lots of drugs, and some white supremacist type of people. they have no idea, john, who, why he was killed, an update later on this morning on how the investigation is going on. >> drew griffin, thank you for being with us. in another developing story, rescuers have pulled a survivor from the rubble and they are searching for people that may have sur vooefed. this is mexico city.

questions he to know were coming. so bad near the end, that the question on iran's endorsement by senator inhofe was softened. >> do you consider that a disrespectful notion on my part? >> no, i don't. >> thank you very much. >> reporter: some were stunned by hagel's performance. they aren't sure if they will vote for him or not. they are hoping the personal one-on-one meetings can overcome any mistakes that he made. chris lawrence, cnn, the pentagon. >> the question is, is his confirmation in jeopardy? >> the democrats think they still have the votes there, but most people say hagel did not do anything to help himself. all of the reporters, dana bash reporting that they were stunned in his performance. a 7 1/2 hour hearing and it was tough. >> but it was rude at times as well, right?

there is no reason to believe that the child has been harmed, so what do we know about this child? >> when you try to talk about these investigators, they are very tightlipped, they only offer updates every so often, when they speak, everyone listens. at this point, what we know is exactly what we said this young boy remains physically unharmed, the most important we heard. and they were able to get this young boy, medications, daily medications that he needs, but he remains held up against his will inside that bunker. one person who knows about that bunker is the same neighbor i spoke with, who says dykes fired a pistol at him and his family back in december. he took some time to describe the bunker where dykes is hiding out. take a look. jimmy davis jr. and his family have been neighbors to jimmy dykes since he moved to this area and brought property here more than a year and a half ago, and davis says he's seen the bunker first hand.

>> he told me u.s. a storm shelter and i -- i have not seen it in probably eight to nine months. not sure what he's done to update it or anything. >> when you saw that bunker, what did it look like? how wide? how deep? >> like a 15 by 15 foot and 12 foot deep and lined with bricks, little red brooks. >> reporter: dykes' travel trailer, where he lives, sits about 20 yards off the property. and behind the trailer is a shipping contain that dykes used as a shed. and behind that, slightly to the left, is the bunker. >> cinder blocks going down for steps and covered with two sheets of plywood with hinges for a door. >> it had a tarp and sand over top and noticed a pvc pipe that

went from the bunker to the front gate. dykes told davis that he put it in so he could hear people or cars approach the front gate. did he ever give you any indication why he built this bunker? >> a storm shelter, he said back where he lived -- i forgot where he said where he lived, he said that there were a lot of tornadoes close to his house, and he wanted somewhere to get in. >> reporter: in december, dykes fired a pistol and his family while they were in their pickup truck. the two men were due in court wednesday, where dykes was to face a charge of menacing, but since allegedly kidnapping a child and killing a man, dykes is now in much deeper, hiding out underground. and this is not dykes first brush with the law. he was charged with improper exhibition of a firearm in 1995,

and in 2005, arrested for illegal possession of marijuana. so not his first brush with the law, and we're all waiting to see what happens here tonight. or this morning rather. >> george, we have one concern. we understand temperatures are dipping into the low 30s. are they concerned about conditions inside that bunker? >> right. right now right around 40 degrees, has been much colder, as you mentioned, 30 degrees not out of the average, not out of the normal. so it has gotten very cold. it's unclear how sophisticated this bunker is. is there electricity? is there heat? these are questions still unknown. some speculation that there may be electricity in that bunker. no way for us to know at this point. so at this point, investigators are doing their best to monitor the situation and stay in touch with dykes, hopefully to get him out. >> good gracious. we're really feeling for the parents of that little boy.

nine months. not sure what he's done to update it or anything. >> when you saw that bunker, what did it look like? how wide, how deep? >> a 15 by 15 foot wide in length and about 12 foot deep and it was lined with bricks, like little red bricks. >> reporter: davis says dykes' travel trailer, where he lives, sits 20 yards off the road on his property. behind the trailer is a massive steel shipping container that davis says dykes used as a shed and behind that, slightly to the left, sits the underground square bunker. >> actually had cinder blocks going down as steps and it was covered up with two sheets of plywood nailed together with hinges and stuff as a door to open to it. >> reporter: davis saw the bunker early in its development it had a tarp and sand over the top. it had a pvc pipe buried in the

ground from the bunker to the front gate. he put it in so if he was in the bunker, he could hear people or cars approach the front gate. did he give any indication as to why he built the bunker? >> a storm shelter. he said back where he lived -- i forgot where he told me he used to live. he said back where he lived there were a bunch of tornadoes and they always hit close to his house, so he was preparing for it. make sure he has somewhere to get in. >> reporter: his relationship with dykes quickly deteriorated. in december, dykes fired a pistol at him and his family when they were in a pickup truck. they were due in court on wednesday, where dykes was to face a charge of menacing. but since kidnapping a child and killing a man, dykes is in much deeper, hiding out underground. we know dykes has had other brushes with the law. he was chargeded for improper exhibition of a firearm back in 1995, and also arrested for illegal possession of marijuana.
